When you're working on any software that connects over networks, handling tasks asynchronously is as crucial as writing good code. That's where Tornado steps in. It acts like a bridge between Python and non-blocking network operations, which is really handy for making web apps that run fast and smoothly.

So, why choose Tornado over other tools? Tornado simplifies all of this, making it easier to build web servers, create apps that update in real-time, or manage connections that stay open for a long time.
